scott_saints Posted 2 April, 2009 Share Posted 2 April, 2009 who would you support? Would you be a neutral? Lose interest in football? I wouldn't ever be able to support another team so I think I may lose nearly all interest in football.

Tac-tics Posted 2 April, 2009 Share Posted 2 April, 2009 I dont think it will happen but it'll go right to the wire. I allways keep an eye out for Bournemouth but ill support the "afc wimbledon" of saints if it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rational Rich Posted 2 April, 2009 Share Posted 2 April, 2009 I'd go and watch Man Utd, couldn't say I'd support them though.

BadgerBadger Posted 2 April, 2009 Share Posted 2 April, 2009 I'd have to find another reason to wander into town to start drinking at 13:00 stop for a few hours and watch something that could be really exciting or could be like watching paint dry and then return to a pub and continue drinking.

Psycrow Posted 2 April, 2009 Share Posted 2 April, 2009 If we do have to do the whole AFC wimbledon thing, lets choose a decent name.

Clapham Saint Posted 2 April, 2009 Share Posted 2 April, 2009 Couldn't we just go for Southampton, followed by City/United/Rover/Athletic/Wanderers and so on. Then you get a more traditional name that can easily just be called "Southampton" or saints amongst fans. Could even take a vote on the second part of the name. I'd rather not be a united. Rovers or City IMO. Forest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berkhamsted Saint Posted 2 April, 2009 Share Posted 2 April, 2009 If current and previous supporters unite behind the club, and prove to the world how strong and numerous Saints following really is, we will survive! There is no alternative Yes there is. No one comes up with the money needed to save the club and the club are gone for good. We are in a credit crunch funding is difficult to get. Saints disappearing is a real possibility. I hope it doesnt happen but not to consider it as an option is naive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 2 April, 2009 Share Posted 2 April, 2009 why not just call it St Marys FC! Or go back to Southampton St Marys! Or merge with Trojans rugby and hocky clubs to form Trojans AC! AJax Amesterdam, Hercules (of Spain somewhere), Sparta Rotterdam, Blyth Spartans and Trojans of Southampton! After all SLH has been a bit like a Trojan Horse!

sandwichsaint Posted 2 April, 2009 Share Posted 2 April, 2009 A new Southampton side would be too big support wise and stroll through the non-leagues. But it would take a while. AFC Wimbledon should be up to the conference next season and might challenge for a league place so it's definitely possible. If we could keep 5,000 or so hardcore fans we'd have more resources than anyone down there. But lets not let it come to that. We'll walk the feeder leagues....

South City Si Posted 2 April, 2009 Share Posted 2 April, 2009 I suppose I would support Eastleigh as really they are my local club, we could convince them to use their away kit (red) as home kit, move back to their original home in Swaythling......
